What is hip pain?

Chronic hip pain affects 12-15% of people over 60 in the UK.

This can be problematic as the hip is essential for pretty much any form of movement such as walking, running, squatting and balancing. Impairment of the hip can significantly impair mobility, leading to a reduced quality of life. Common causes of hip pain include:

  • Hip impingement syndrome. Also known as Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome

  • Arthritis

  • Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome. Also known as  lateral hip pain or trochanteric bursitis

  • Injuries caused by falling, sporting activities or repetitive use of the joint

  • Sprain or strain caused by repetitive or intense exercise

My approach to treating hip problems starts with understanding the pathology. The nature of the condition will dictate the treatment approach taken. I believe in educating my clients in the pathology and treatment approach as it will empower them to remain complaint, reducing the risk of treatment failure.

Answering your questions

    • Hip impingement is a common cause of hip and groin pain. It can affect people of all ages, including teenagers and young adults. Fortunately, several treatment options are available to relieve your symptoms, improve your quality of life and prevent the risk of long-term damage.

      Hip impingement occurs when the femoral head and the acetabulum do not fit together properly. The femoral head can no longer glide smoothly within the socket, leading to unwanted symptoms like pain and discomfort.

      Although the cause of hip impingement is not fully understood, several factors may contribute to its development, such as:

      • Previous hip disorders

      • Genetics

      • Intense sporting activities

      The main symptom of hip impingement is pain which gradually worsens over time. This usually occurs in the hip or groin area and can extend to the lower back and legs.

      Activities and movements that may exacerbate the pain include:

      • Jumping

      • Running

      • Riding a bike

      • Squatting

      • Driving

      • Sitting down for prolonged periods of time

  • OA is a condition that affects the joint. It is the most common type of arthritis which causes “wear and tear” of the Hip joint.

    Common symptoms are:

    • Pain

    • General stiffness

    • Grating or grinding sensation when the joint moves

    • Swelling

    Diagnosis of Hip OA does not necessarily require an x-ray and it can be assumed that this is the cause of your knee pain if you are:

    • Aged 45 and over AND

    • Have activity related joint pain AND

    • No morning stiffness or stiffness that resolves within 30 minutes

    Things that can help arthritic Hip pain are:

    • Maintaining a healthy weight

    • Keeping good fitness through walking, cycling or swimming, as well as low impact exercise classes

    • Wearing supportive footwear

    • Using heat or ice

    • Using a walking pole or stick

    • Doing specific exercises
